Transforming Communities
We believe our team can make a difference by improving our world and helping communities thrive. Our commitment doesn’t end when construction is complete. We invest in the places where we live and work through volunteerism, charitable giving, education partnerships, and local engagement. By supporting initiatives that strengthen safety, foster growth, and create opportunities, we help build tomorrow’s leaders and ensure our communities flourish for generations.
Advocating For Our Youth
We believe that supporting growth and success for our youth creates a stronger foundation for our future communities.

Inspiring the Next Generation of Innovators
Sharing Opportunities in STEM
Wells is committed to fostering a passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) careers among students by actively supporting industry events such as Northern Colorado Construction Sector Partnership's annual Construction Con, EPIC Student Event and more. Through these events, children are exposed to the exciting and dynamic world of STEM, where they can interact with professionals, participate in hands-on activities, and witness cutting-edge technologies.
Sponsored University Precast Studios
Wells’ experts work directly with educators to challenge and guide the next generation of prefabrication and construction leaders. By working with educational institutions across the U.S., we offer students of all ages in-depth experiences working with prefabricated building solutions, helping them learn how to bring industry concepts to life. In addition to support at the K-12 level, our higher education design/precast studios allow undergraduate and graduate students to hone in on innovative design practices utilizing precast. In these courses, students are invited to design for real-life scenarios. Examples of our educational support include:
Colorado School of Mines
Wells provides tours for construction materials classes, giving the students a close-up of the concrete mixing process. In addition, Wells Director of Engineering, Chase Radue, participates as an adjunct professor for the graduate-level prestress class.
